... that during the Victorian-era London garotting panics some citizens wore studded leather collars to protect themselves from attack (satirical cartoon pictured)? "Perhaps the most familiar, everyday anti-garrotting measures were leather collars ‘warranted to withstand the grip of the most muscular ruffian’ (Punch, September 27th, 1856). Some collars were thick and cumbersome, covered in spikes, and were much satirised in the Punch, which published spoof adverts of anti-garrotting methods." from: Green, Victoria (24 August 2017).
